Molien generating functions and integrity bases for the action of the SO(3) and O(3) groups on a set of vectors

Abstract

The construction of integrity bases for invariant and covariant polynomials built from aset of three dimensional vectors under the SO(3) and O(3) symmetries is presented. Thispaper is a follow--up to our previous work that dealt with a set of two dimensional vectorsunder the action of the SO(2) and O(2) groups [G. Dhont and B. I. Zhilinskiı, J. Phys. A:Math. Theor., 46, 455202 (2013)]. The expressions of the Molien generating functions asone rational function are a useful guide to build integrity bases for the rings of invariantsand the free modules of covariants. The structure of the non--free modules of covariants ismore complex. In this case, we write the Molien generating function as a sum of rationalfunctions and show that its symbolic interpretation leads to the concept of generalizedintegrity basis. The integrity bases and generalized integrity bases for O(3) are deducedfrom the SO(3) ones. The results are useful in quantum chemistry to describe the potentialenergy or multipole moment hypersurfaces of molecules. In particular, the generalizedintegrity bases that are required for the description of the electric and magnetic quadrupolemoment hypersurfaces of tetratomic molecules are given for the first time.

Unified Common-Root and Interpolation Bounds Based on Leading Monomial Data

For general fields the footprint bound from Gröbner basis theory estimates the number of common affine roots of any set of multivariate polynomials using information on their leading monomials. In this paper we develop an interpolation bound with a similar flavor extending a previously known result for only a single polynomial to any prescribed number of polynomials. Surprisingly, our interpolation theorem and the footprint bound can be shown to be two sides of the same coin, solving similar problems, but for dual spaces. As discussed the footprint bound compares well with the improved Alon-Füredi bound and for finite fields the presented interpolation theorem is sharp. Our work can be viewed as a comment to a question raised by Tao in [Tao, 2014]

Remarks on some Homological Problems regarding Infinite Integral Extensions

Let $R$ be an excellent local domain. $R$ is said to be $NBIM$ if $Tor_{i}^{R}(R^{+}, k) = 0$ for some $i\geq d:=\dim(R)$. Bhatt, Iyengar, and Ma ask if equi-characteristic zero $NBIM$ rings are regular. If $R$ is of positive characteristic, Asgharzadeh and Mahdavi conjecture that $Ext^{i}_{R}(k,R^{\infty}) = 0$ for some $i>d$ implies that $R$ is regular. It is an open question whether $R^{+}$ and $R^{\infty}$ are $\mathfrak{m}$-adically idealwise separated in positive characteristic, a condition from the `local criterion of flatness'. These are analogues of Kunz's theorem and intimately related to the homological conjectures and singularities in algebraic geometry. We apply a result of Avramov, Hochster, Iyengar, and Yao on contracting endomorphisms to make progress on the first two. We observe that it implies toric $NBIM$ rings are regular and solves the conjecture for $F$-pure rings. These improvements are inaccessible by previous techniques and give new and simple proofs of earlier results. In mixed characteristic, we show several linked results for perfectoid-pure rings. We show the third statement when there is $R\rightarrow S$ finite and flat on the punctured spectrum and $S$ is regular, this uses Cohen-Macaulayness of $S^{+}$.

Descent along flat composed with radicalization

We study the following general situation. Let $R\to S$ be a finite flat morphism of regular rings of zero (resp. prime) characteristic. For $P\in Spec R$, put $A=R/P, C=S/PS,$ and $B=S/\sqrt{PS}=C_{\mathrm{red}}.$ The basic question is whether a property of $B$ forces the same property of $A$. The main point is that ordinary finite-flat descent applies naturally to $A\to C$, whereas the passage $C\to C_{\mathrm{red}}$ may destroy nilpotent information.
